  • Do these policies work for format agnostic? B – digital archives have survey document for digital materials
  • Transfer forms – group has shared transfer forms on wiki; many of the campuses have been borrowing from each other, but rather than having a uniform form, we can look to documents on the wiki;

  • Guidelines and training are needed to help have a focused collection
  • Web archiving costs are going up; we need to develop a sustainable method for funding the services; UCs have special pricing for first 3 years, but prices will be rising
